Waves NX Headtracker

Music today is increasingly consumed through headphones, but usually produced on and for loudspeakers. While playback on headphones can seem impressive and wide-ranging, it has little to do with the stereo image of well-positioned stereo speakers. The reasons for this lie in our perception of time differences, filtering and reverberation by our hearing and the corresponding evaluation by our brain. For a more natural reproduction of stereo and surround sound on headphones, a different solution is needed. Binaural stereophony has proven to be a suitable answer and is used by Waves NX, tested here in combination with the optional Headtracker.

Sennheiser HDV 820

With the HD 800 S and HD 820 models, Sennheiser offers first-class headphones aimed at demanding music lovers. Naturally, the corresponding headphone amplifier is not missing from the range of products offered by the Lower Saxony-based manufacturer: The HDV 820 is housed in a stylish, flat, black anodised casing with an internal power supply unit and so visually it is a matching partner to the HD 800 S.

Comply SoftCONNECT

Apple’s AirPods are among the best-selling headphones and they are worn by millions every day. However, there are still disagreements about their shape and form: ear-buds are not stuck in the ear canal like in-ears, but sit in front of them. This means that for some they fit like a glove, but for others, they hang so loosely in the ear that they sometimes fall out.
